Mediterranean Sea Heatwave Threatens Marine Life | JQJO

An unprecedented marine heatwave in the Western Mediterranean Sea has reached temperatures exceeding 30°C, significantly above average for this time of year. Scientists express serious concerns about the impact on marine life, with potential long-term consequences for fish stocks and ecosystems. The heatwave, attributed to climate change, is causing widespread bleaching and mortality in seagrass and other marine species. While temperatures are slightly decreasing, the early onset and intensity raise alarms about future extreme events and their effects on both marine life and human populations.
